Swatcher Script v2.0

Swatcher Script v2.0

Introduce Swatcher 2.0, now it has become even better

Swatcher it’s the script for AE for creating and working with palettes in your compositions. You can also open a color palettes from files and keep it in your own swatch library.
What’s more, Swatcher allows easy colorize your compositions in a very convenient way. Colorizer will finds each color in your selected layers, such as Solid Layers, effects in the Solid, Text and Shape Layers.
The Shape layers choosing for colorize each fills and strokes inside content parameter. Even you can colorize some popular effects and plugins such as Tint, Ramp effect, Plexus and more.

In the colorizer window you can control each color in your scene. In the 2.0 you can even colorize the Color Controls in the layers, in case if you already created your own color links.

In the Swatcher 2.0 also introduces a new feature – Palette forge window, which allows you to create your own palette, but not more than 8 colors in one. I think that’s enough. Also feature for importing files with a palette has now moved into this window. Sort your colors as you like, add it using the color picker, or remove unnecessary and all it in the one Palette forge window.

Completely redesigned Colorizer window, now it is possible to adjust the color directly controlling the brightness, and the link to the original color remains. Brightness changes by using AE expressions.

Unfortunately in Swatcher 2.0 missing feature of import color palettes of various services. The reason for this constant and uncontrolled changing api on those sites. But you can always get some .ase or .aco files from any source, and use it in your composition.
